It's actually a bit disappointing how little is celebrated here. There's traditional stuff going on all the time but most public holidays are mostly just about exhanging red packets of money, rather than anything like... fun.
Christmas is great with its trees and decorations, santa, presents, mistletoe, movies, music, churches, mulled wine, turkey, and so many more aspects. Imagine if it was all stripped down to just give each other money...
I invited some of my friends to a party at a bar at one point and they weren't interested
My kinda friends! haha
